In this paper, the author proposes a multifaceted representation model for the sensory domain of taste, especially the taste of sake. The author aimed at bridging the domain of taste and the domain of words, and, on the basis of the findings of the first-person-singular study, proposed that the pictorial description, together with the verbal description, can achieve the aim. As the results of the study, the author found the difference between the manner of description of the PTG (Primary Taste Group for sake; sweetness, umami, and acidity) and the STG (Stimulus Taste Group; astringency and dry). The PTG tend to described in curvy Shapes, by contrast,the STG tend to represented in linear Patterns.
